I AM the Witness

It was the New Year’s class of 1963, when I first attended a meeting of The Summit Lighthouse, that I witnessed a miracle that stands out in my memory. That evening Mighty Victory, the tall Master from Venus, gave a dictation. He expressed a desire to give everyone a feeling of his reality–the reality of the Ascended Masters. He asked us to cooperate, while he attempted to convey this feeling, by closing our eyes as he stepped down the vibratory action of his release.

I closed my eyes and felt nothing. I opened my eyes and I saw that Mark, who actually looked like the photograph of him in the Chapel of the Holy Grail, had been transfigured into a being of Light. His appearance was that of a youth of 23 years–he was much thinner, his hair was brown, and so much light was emanating from him that he seemed to have a light bulb inside of him radiating through his translucent skin. His white robe was light. “This is the way he will look when he ascends,” I recall saying to myself. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again Mark was as he had been at first.

That vision of the Ascended Master Lanello is stamped indelibly in my memory and from that night of December 31, 1962, I never lost the sense of awe of Mark Prophet and, what’s more, I never lost the sense of reality of the Ascended Masters’ octave. Beyond that, I never lost the sense that Mark and Elizabeth Prophet are true Messengers of God and that this is the highest teaching available on the planet.

After the service, as Mark took my hand I told him about how he had been transformed in my sight. He asked me not to tell anyone what I had seen. Well, I didn’t tell many while he was still in embodiment, but now I tell people that I have seen an Ascended Master–Lanello!

It was characteristic of Mark, I was later to learn, that he would try to hide his mastery and power from the public. He was always diverting our attention from his adeptship by doing something absurd, as though he were trying to convince others that he didn’t have as much going for him as they had. This was to prevent others from feeling inferior to him, I think; but it made some feel superior and to disbelieve in him as the Master’s vessel and they criticized him. But he wore this guise until the end.
